Overview
- Patricia Bullrich outlined a fast-track in Senate committees next week, but the two‑thirds threshold and the seven‑day rule after a committee ruling complicate bringing the bill to the floor in December.
- Kirchnerist senators will present a competing draft led by Mariano Recalde and Vanesa Siley that cuts the workweek, expands parental leave and limits non-cash and foreign‑currency pay.
- La Cámpora will join the CGT’s march to Plaza de Mayo on December 18 to oppose the government’s text, which allows dollar‑denominated salaries, a bank of hours, tighter strike rules and faster labor litigation.
- In the lower house, Martín Menem is finalizing the Budget Committee lineup, and Juan Schiaretti’s delayed swearing‑in could cost Provincias Unidas a seat as the 2026 spending bill advances.
- Northern governors such as Raúl Jalil, Osvaldo Jaldo and Gustavo Sáenz have emerged as pivotal votes for both the budget and reforms, while the expanding AFA corruption probe adds political pressure to the calendar.
